Ezekiel:4:1-5
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
And you ,
O son of man ,
take a brick and lay it before you ,
and portray upon it a city ,
even Jerusalem ;
*
and put siegeworks against it ,
and build a siege wall against it ,
and cast up a mound against it ;
set camps also against it ,
and plant battering rams against it round about .
*
And take an iron plate ,
and place it as an iron wall between you and the city ;
and set your face toward it ,
and let it be in a state of siege ,
and press the siege against it .
This is a sign for the house of Israel .
* "
Then lie upon your left side ,
and I will lay the punishment of the house of Israel upon you ;
for the number of the days that you lie upon it ,
you shall bear their punishment .
*
For I assign to you a number of days ,
three hundred and ninety days ,
equal to the number of the years of their punishment ;
so long shall you bear the punishment of the house of Israel .
